Chris Harp and I were interviewed today on Alive at Five at Four by Russell Bivens for this event along with Amy from the Family Justice Center and Deb from LAET. Dave Yoder was conveniently out of town.
Hopefully we will get some good PR for the event. I understand that they also played some of the video from the taping at the last event.

If I can spend a 12 years in the army I can sleep there. I could even watch the trailer. Chad

ok Wayne .... I'm even more confused ... what exit is Magnolia ? my google maps ( those skills are somewhat lacking at times ) doesn't show anything on the south side of Magnolia, or an exit for Magnolia itself ....

Closest exit would be Cherry St. (exit 390). Take Cherry St. to Magnolia Ave., hang a left, it's down a bit on your right. Believe the street next to the location is Beaman St.

If you take the zoo exit and just go past the zoo cut off the road will bare to the right and the lot will be on the left about a mile from the interstate. Chad

Walter, that's correct, but those bleachers move so they won't be on the course.

just making sure I had the correct lot .... figured the bleachers moved ... or else we were going to need fewer cones than usual :lol:

come in off Knoxville Zoo/Lakeside then parallel to Magnolia and enter through the tunnel ?

just out of curiosity how do the folk that live in the house the other side of the trees feel about our loud cars ? :lol:

I have already ask that and have not gotten an answer but seems like it would be cool to do so.
